About the Item

This work is part of a series exploring representation, diaspora, and transition within the context of the colonisation of Algeria and the Algerian revolution. It is an artistic “Truth and Reconciliation process” as well as a deeply personal and subjective exploration of identity. The exhibition is the culmination of a one-year Leverhulme Trust residency at the University of Portsmouth that was widely exhibited in different countries The newspaper headline “Tout est calme en Algerie” in the heat of the Algerian War smacks of a similar sense of reassuring delusion. With a mosaic of pre- and post- colonial buildings as a background and touching on the theme of Orientalism, this work alludes to the ambiguous attitude of the French toward Arab culture, its flawed analysis of the outcome of the conflict as well as the ghosts of the past resulting from its proclaimed belief in the “civilising mission”.
